The slope of displacement-time graph is equal to:
Correct answer: A. Velocity
- A. Velocity
- B. Displacement
- C. Acceleration
- D. Distance
Explanation
The slope represents the rate of change of displacement with respect to time, which is the definition of velocity.

About Displacement and Velocity
Displacement is the directed change in position, while velocity is the rate of change of displacement and includes both magnitude and direction. The topic connects position-time and velocity-time graphs with average and instantaneous values, and distinguishes displacement from distance and velocity from speed.
